Additional Context

It would be nice to update ory/x to the latest version to use otel tracing provider.

We will need to upgrade ory/x! However, one problem is that ory/x has developed quite a lot since we included it here and we did not yet have the time to update ory oathkeeper's config system to the new ory/x config system. So upgrading will not be as easy as just bumping the go mod version :(

@aeneasr thank you very much for sharing that! I hope you will be able to migrate to the latest version in the further ;)

It would be great to use otel, any updates on this issue @aeneasr?

[bodymindarts]

We want to bring in oath keeper as a hard dependency in our stack but this is somewhat of a blocker.

Same here, we use OpenTelemetry for all of our tracing, not having this in Oathkeeper but in Hydra is a blocker for us.

Still true in the latest release fwiw

docker run -e TRACING_PROVIDER=otel -ti oryd/oathkeeper serve
Thank you for using ORY Oathkeeper v0.40.0!
